HelpRe: Ethel
in reply to a message by Pie
To me Ethel has neither an attractive sound nor an unattractive one. It is one of those ho-hum names.
Because of my age (old), and because my parents had me when they were 42 and 40, Ethel was a name I heard routinely as a child. Ethel This Lastname and Ethel That Lastname. There is only one I specifically remember. She was the wife of an employee of my father's. The employee spent a considerable amount of "work" time visiting various women with whom he was having affairs. This was in my childhood hometown, where we lived till I was 8. After we moved, I don't recall there being any Ethels. Anyway, when I gave my mother an 80th birthday party, this Ethel and her philandering husband attended. The husband was a charmer, even in old age. But I did feel sorry for the longsuffering Ethel.
